[s-cars] BBK parts list

[Eric Phillips]

For brackets, 034 is not the only game in town.  Apikol sells them as
well.  Both the shaved version for the A8L D2 rotors, and a version
for the smaller Euro S8 rotors.  They also sell slotted and plated
323x30 rotors, if you want such things.  :)

Of course, if you want to go out-of-town for the brackets, you can get
them from vagparts.com in GB.

One other thing nobody has mentioned - if you buy pad dampers, you
need a total of eight - 4 of the smaller, and 4 of the larger.

Sourcing the bolts is easy now that 034 does that for us.  I cut down
my original caliper -> strut bolts to bolt up my brackets to my
struts.

Fedoro DS2500s are supposed to be the shiznit pads for street brakes.

Big second on the pad wear sensor skip.  You can see the pad depth
easily without having to take the wheel off.  :)
